Oooh, some great suggestions here. Thank you. You're all along the right lines as I've read most of these Grin

Some of them were a while ago though so I might see if I can get kindle versions.

I'd not heard of Under the Jewelled Sky, A Fine Balance or A Disobedient Girl so I'll also look into those.

Please keep the ideas coming. I've had a run on pretty crap books recently so would love to get a few good ones lined up.

Knowledge of Angels is good, think it's by Jill Paton Walsh.
